Hookah Choice - Opinions

[NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD]

and if i remember correctly, john said each km jumbo vase is a little different..so its nice to have something unique like that..im not 100% sure thought, but i do know my blue one is different from the blue in john's website..you can actually see it in my sig..another guy bought the brown one and he said his was different from the brown one showin on john's site..and i know for some they cant justify $60 for a vase..but words can not describe these vases until you actually hold it in your hand..the size and weight of these things is awsome..plus for those wanting a bohemian but dont have "friends" in high places..lol or dont wana spend $90+ for one this is a excellent alternative..i didnt care for the bohemian name i just wanted the looks and this more then does it for me..you can also check out other pics of my jumbo vase in my gallery

This is why I love this community. I ask for suggestions and people are giving me all kinds of choices. Things I didn't even consider, so thanks guys, keep em coming

if i was gona buy a hookah id go with a af this time around because like you said you've owned km's and 90% of the forum has a km.. now myself i dont care for af's because of there stem designs but the 36'' is a very sexy looking hookah and would be very hard to pass it up..

Exactly lol I love the way the 36" looks, 2nd tray, and a good height (for management sitting down)


Can anyone fill me in on their experience with AFs? There are a couple reviews but nothing concrete, plus I like the most recent feelings on a hookah before buying.

- From my experience, the KM OG TM purges much better than the AF 36".
- The pulls on both are about the same
- Both are brass core (correct me if I'm wrong)
- The both are beautiful
- Both are great hookahs and smoke very well
- Which ever you choose, you will be happy with
- Both are blown away by those lil Pumpkin hookahs, nothing smokes better than a Pumpkin ^_~
- That last one can be totally disregarded

Actually, just get this hookah.


It's built like a tank. *rimshot*

Lol nice

and I believe both are brass cores. But with the 36" AF out of stock I'm torn on Which Km to consider buying vs. that one lol. Now if John gets back to me with his estimated date of having more in we'l go from there

[liquidglass]

Right now NOBs suggestions have stood out the most the 2nd stem + base with a Blue narbish and a new royal blue phunnel would be sexy.

And the link GNR pointed me too look awesome, btw is the metal on that one a blackish color it looks like it's been modified, which is sexy. But then again there are a few on Nazar that caught my eye.


This isn't counting this one

LOOOK!

[Giant Ninja Robot]

I vote the Tri-exotica with boho vase. Far more beautiful than the rest mentioned, brass core rules, bohos rule. Do it!!!!!!!

dont forgot john is still honoring his 15% discount for the last few days of november..so that $220 hookah is yours for $186..and it comes with the jumbo and who knows maybe if you ask john, he can exchange the hose that comes with that big behemoth with a narbish..lol

What differs between them are the decorations on the neck and body bands. There are only a few different kinds so it doesn't really change the look that much or makes them each unique items. By brown do you mean the gold one?

I don't understand why some people call these Bohemians. Bohemian refers to where they are made, IOW Bohemian glass or crystal (leaded glass), not the shape. "Jumbo" I can live with though. The KM jumbos don't compare to the Bohemians but they are nicer than the current typical Egyptian glass. $60 is a lot for an Egyptian vase and is the same price the size 30 Bohemians were. Only the jumbo Bohemian ($65) and crystal vases ($90-100) were more expensive. However, those Bohemians aren't really available anymore unless you want to buy them at a premium as a "crystal" hookah that some vendors still have. Size 26 Bohemians and crystals are still around though.

I also don't understand the craze for copper/brass stem tubes (I have both FWIW). I'd rather have a SS one for the strength (lasts longer & less likely to break) and better corrosion resistance (copper carbonate = bad mmkay) as opposed to whatever mental benefit you will get from the copper/brass as the actual performance difference is neglible at best.

i never called them bohemian..lol..plus im sick of people keep mentioning how much bohemians were..that doesnt mean crap anymore..lol because its hard to find them..and the one who do have them wont sell them unless one of 2 things..you either pay a anal phuck price..lol or your "really good friends" with the person who has one..like cotsi..other then that your screwed you wont get one..then again i didnt care for the bohemian name i just wanted the look..and i dont care for SS..i like tri metal more..plus if you read above i said for those wanting a bohemain obviously for looks but dont want to pay the premium for one if you even find it this is a excellent alternative .....to be honest if there are 2-4 different kinds that does make them unique because that means not all are the same...you wont have the same vase tom,dick,harry has..lol

[foibled again]

I don't know why you are getting so defensive. Only the first sentence was in direct response to your post. I also don't know why you are responding to my post in that tone against what I posted in agreement with you.

There are trimetals with SS stem tubes. Likewise there are/were SS stems with copper/brass stem tubes.

If there are only 2-4 different kinds then you can have the same vase that Tom, Dick, OR Harry has.

lol im not getting defensive..ive said it before i get passionate when im trying to express my points and its so damn hard to do it with words online rather then when you can see each persons face expressions and hand movements, gestures..you know what i mean..lol

[foibled again]

POSTING IN ALL CAPITALS AND BOLD WORKS FOR ME.

ALSO ADDING TILDES BEFORE EXCLAMATION POINTS TOO LIKE:

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE~~!!!!

[liquidglass]

Foilbled what's the discount code again, HF13 or HF15?


That's a very good point about that hookah, but that also means I could get the base and the stem for only $123 with the discount and then spend the rest on other things. BUT i do see your point and appreciate you bringing that to my attention

thanks for making the decision harder....asshole lol



And I understand the desire for SS down stems, but my brass ones have always treated me well. Although I do plan on getting a good stainless steel one here soon just to have one that will survive more abuse.

[NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD]

for the remainder of november when you spend $75 or more you get 15% off with this coupon code Thanks15
if you spend $45 or more you get 10% off with coupon code HF13 and this promotion never ends..

[Codename067]

I don't know what I can do to not sound biased to some people here on the site, but stick with a KM.

They are more solid, will definitely out-last AF, better purging, bigger breather holes, and smoke quality can not be compared.

[liquidglass]

thats what you call a ORDER!!!...lol

[antouwan]

wow congrats on the order, man. i'm sure you'll be happy. after reading this thread i actually just went ahead and ordered the 30" AF solid. $84 shipped wasn't bad, either.

[Chreees]

Wise decision. That's a hella good order, my friend!

[Codename067]

Hefty order. I like.

[liquidglass]

Def. Appreciated guys. I appreciate all the suggestions and advice. Reminded me what a great forum I'm apart of. And I think I'm gonna be happy with my order. (although I would have ordered some more shisha if john had in what I wanted lol)

[Giant Ninja Robot]

Hooray! Do show plenty of pics my friend that is a serious setup.

[delSol_si]

Guess I am a bit late on this one, but you did excellent, probably spent more than I would have on a hookah, but def a good hookah. I was going to say, I own a 36" AF and a 34" KM. I use my KM exclusively, I am actually probably going to get rid of my AF and QT and just stick with the KM and mini mya. The AF is a good hookah, smokes just as well as my KM as far as I'm concerned, its just too big for me. Plus, I feel the KM is a build a bit better. Well, anyone with half a brain could tell the KM is better built just by looking at them. I still think the AF is sexy as hell though, plus the second tray is nice to lay your tongues on. When you put the windcover on the hookah, you will not have room to put your tongue on the tray anymore. I usually hang mine on the hose port if using the KM and on the second tray when using the AF.

That is seriously a sexy hookah you go though, congrats. If you are ever in the market for another KM, check out http://www.hookahjohn.com/product.sc?produ...mp;categoryId=8 I've had my eye on it for months now, really want it, but I'm still unemployed and funds are getting to low for any more toys. Plus, I'm not smoking more than like once or twice a week anymore, so no point in buying another hookah. But, that butterfly is a really sexy hookah and won't hurt the band too bad.

I'd still say the one you actually did get it the sexiest though.
